The process for creation of Telangana is set to make Assam a tinderbox with many ethnic groups intensifying their demands for separate states.

While violence rocked Karbi Anglong district on the separate state demand on Wednesday, All Bodo Students' Union (Absu) said this time the demand for Bodoland would be a "do-or-die" movement.

The Absu has announced a 12-hour rail blockade on August 2 and a 60-hour Assam bandh from August 5-7. The students' body is thinking of launching a 1000-hour stir, the date of which will be announced later.

The People's Joint Action Committee for Boroland Movement (PJACBM), a conglomeration of 55 outfits of various ethnic groups in the proposed Bodoland, said it is closely monitoring the Congress-led UPA government's move in the creation of Telangana.

The PJACBM said the movement for separate Bodoland is more than four decades old and its creation is a legitimate one like Telangana.

Supporting the creation of Telangana, NDFB-P, which has been holding dialogue with the Centre for the last seven years, recently said the creation of Bodoland has become an imperative for safeguarding the identity, culture and protection of lands of the Bodos.

Protestors demanding the creation of a separate Karbi Anglong state vandalize the residence of an official at Diphu, in Karbi Anglong district in northeastern Assam state, India, Wednesday, July 31, 2013. India's ruling coalition Tuesday endorsed creating a new state in southern India, which immediately spurred activists to call for other long-standing demands for separate states to be met.
